<h1>About formatting graph reports</h1>
<p>For an introduction to graph reports and complete details on each graph 
 style available in MicroStrategy, see the <span style="font-style: italic;"><I>Graphing</I></span> 
 chapter in the <span style="font-style: italic;"><I>MicroStrategy Advanced 
 Reporting Guide</I></span>. For steps to apply a graph style to a report, 
 see 
<a HREF="Selecting_a_graph_style.htm">Selecting an appropriate graph 
 style</a>.</p>
<p>There are several ways in which you can format a graph in MicroStrategy 
 Web. For example, you can do the following:</p>
<ul type="disc" class="whs1">
	
<li class=p><p>Format the look and feel of the graph's series (the 
 Y-axis). For example, you can change the color and transparency of individual 
 bars in a bar graph or pie slices in a pie graph. For details, see 
<a 
 HREF="Display_and_format_series.htm">Formatting graph series</a>.</p></li>
	
<li class=p><p>Format the graph's titles, axis labels, and legend. 
 For details, see 
<a HREF="Display_and_format_titles_axes.htm">Showing 
 and formatting titles and axes</a>.</p></li>
	
<li class=p><p>Choose a graph style and sub-style that best suits the 
 purpose of the report. For details, see 
<a HREF="Selecting_a_graph_style.htm">Selecting 
 an appropriate graph style</a>.</p></li>
	
<li class=p><p>Format the display of number values on the graph. For 
 details, see 
<a HREF="Format_number_values.htm">Formatting number values 
 on a graph</a>.</p></li>
	
<li class=p><p>Rearrange the contents of the graph by using Auto Arrange. 
 For details, see 
<a HREF="Graph_Auto_Arrange.htm">Rearranging the layout 
 of pre-8.x graphs: Auto Arrange</a>.</p></li>
	
<li class=p><p>Create tooltip labels for specific data points. For 
 details, see 
<a HREF="Tooltip_labels_for_data_points.htm">Creating tooltip 
 labels for specific data points</a>.</p></li>
	
<li class=p><p>Adjust the scaling of the graph. For example, you can 
 determine how many bars of a bar graph are displayed at a time. For details, 
 see 
<a HREF="Adjust_graph_scaling.htm">Adjusting the scaling of a graph</a>.</p></li>
